Directions

For the soup base, simmer together the lentils, chopped tomato and greens in water or vegetable broth.

Slice the vegetables and lightly stir-fry in olive oil.

Once the lentils are tender, add the vegetables, salt and pepper to the soup pot and simmer until the veggies are tender.

Add the chopped fresh herbs and simmer for a few more minutes to combine flavours.

Serve with bread or cornbread, accompanied with salad, cheese or hummus.
